Default Rear Toddler Seats for 997

I'm sure this has been covered before, but I am a new 997 owner (2006 C2 Cabriolet). What brand of car seat will fit in the rear of my 911? I've read that removing the seat backs helps, that Recaro Monza and Maxi-Cosi Primo are two brands that have been used, but that was for 993 and 996. Anyone have luck installing child seats in the rear of their 997?

Thanks.

996 and 997 are identical in the back. I had a 996 C4 Cab and now a 997 C2S Cab
I had an Eddie Bauer seat for the 1-5year old range, then a Porsche brand booster for the 5 year old.
I had pictures on the 996 forum of the eddie bauer (black leather look)

I'm in the process of getting a Recaro Young Sport into the back of my 997 (09 C4S). Seems to fit pretty well. I removed the rear seat backs, but left the seat bottoms. On the Recaro, I removed the tilt base and levers. The Recaro has great side protection, looks good, and it's easy to remove all of those obnoxious warning stickers.

I have the Combi Dakota backless booster on order. Will report when I get it, but it's supposed to be good. The Safeguard Go (http://www.safeguardseat.com/go/index.htm) has been recommended here too but requires the use of the tether. You'll have to unearth the tether anchors from the carpet or have your dealer do it.
